Door hangers and kinko's printing options

[goblue1a]

Most of my work has been web related, I decided to take on a print design job. So after making a couple calls and getting some quotes I've found that FEDEX Kinko's is the cheapest...? Was quoted $125 (not bad I guess, others quoted me around 300) Can this be right? (back in my student days they were the most expensive) I need to get about 500 door hangers out time is not an issue, double sided, card stock, one side full color the other black and white. Needs a hole cut at towards the top that you can hang on a door knob. I'm just wondering if perhaps there's an online place you guys send to...Suggestions would help
Thanks in advance.

With Kinkos, you get what you pay for EVERY time.

It's a fair price considering that they'll run them off a color copier.
If it was me, I'd have them give me a one-off proof to make sure the
copy quality was up to snuff on whatever paper they're going to use.
Kinkos can be horrible, but they can also do a decent job on projects
like this.

Make sure you know how that particular Kinko's works. There are two by me. There is the good one, then there is the bizarro kinko.

The good kinkos gave me free paper when I asked to buy 10 transparancy sheets. The bizarro kinko charged me $13 to print ten black and white copies because they force you to do it yourself on a 1996 gateway that uses photoshop 4 and spends three minutes sending a 200kb file to the copy machine at a hefty 30c a minute. So the two dollar B&W prints cost me around ten dollars of computer time (I really needed to get this done).

Just be careful, the quality of each store can very greatly.
